Alfred is there some way to talk to you in private or can you direct me to someone at valve/steam about how we can get something like an internal master server setup at the next 2 400man LAN's we will be running this year?
With the problems of having a solid internet connection and steam having their own auth. problems at our first event we might be foregoing having one at the next 2 events. If we can come to some kind of agreement/setup then I think that valve/steam would come out looking good in the eyes of the 400 some odd gamers at the events. If anyone wants to see a write-up on our event you can check out the one THG did on it.... http://www.tomshardware.com/game/200502051/index.html SP_Kenny ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alfred Reynolds" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 07, 2005 8:01 PM Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] CSS Client server lookup on a LAN..Alfred? > The "LAN" tab uses broadcast Ethernet packets to discover servers using > ports 27015 through 27020. > > - Alfred > > ----Original Message---- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kennycom > Sent: Monday, February 07, 2005 7:04 PM To: > [email protected] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] CSS Client server lookup on a LAN..Alfred? > >> Does anyone have any comments on this? >> >> >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Kennycom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> To: <[email protected]> >> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Sent: Friday, February 04, 2005 1:02 AM >> Subject: [hlds_linux] CSS Client server lookup on a LAN >> >> >> > Hey folks, >> > >> > Let me start off with what our situation is... >> > >> > This past weekend we were part of the network/server team at a >> > 400man LAN event.
